NEW MOVEMENT IN FRANCE
“RALLY OF FRENCH PEOPLE”
QUEUES LINE UP FOR MEMBERSHIP (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, April 16. Queues lined up outside the three branches in Paris of General de Gaulle’s new movement, “Rally of the French People,” when they opened yesterday to receive applications for membership. The correspondent of “The Times' in Paris says the movement is not prepared to accept all and sundry. Applicants have to assert on their honour that they have never belonged to collaborationist organisations and their applications will be accepted only when a committee has examined each applicant’s record. General de Gaulle’s supporters deny that his aim is to take over the Government of France. His first aim they say, is to secure the reforms on his programme. If the politicians now in power bring about these changes he will gladly return to retirement.
